Condensation

This is the same phenomena that causes windows to become misted up with water drops in a heated room during the winter.

The MD recorder also sometimes gets dew (water drops) on the optical lens inside the player under the following conditions.

•Immediately after you turn a heater on.

•If the MD recorder is placed in a room with full of steam or dampness.

•If you suddenly bring the MD recorder in from the cold outside into a warm room.

If the MD recorder is exposed to dew condensation

You can leave it as it is. Sometimes the recorder cannot read the signal sent from the disc by laser and the recorder doesn’t work.

Depending on the surrounding conditions you can remove the disc and leave the power on for at the longest one hour. The dew will evaporate and the recorder will work properly. If it doesn't work after several hours, please consult the nearest Onkyo authorized service center.
